  • 1954/55 SA Season
    THE HENRY LONG COLLECTION Part 9 – 1954/55 Season Despite falling attendances besetting speedway in Britain, the prediction by many on the local South African speedway scene that the 1954/55 campaign would be a boom season was proved correct. But there was also plenty happening before the South African season officially began. The Southern Rhodesians opened their season in May with a challenge match between the Bulawayo Lions and Pretoria Eagles which resulted in a victory for the locals. Further team challenges were staged against the Durban Hornets and Wembley Lions before the conclusion of the Bulawayo season with the impending arrival of the rainy season. The Northern Rhodesian outpost at Kitana continued with their regular routine of monthly meetings. Over in the UK a clutch of South African riders appeared at various British tracks, - Roy Bester at Leicester, Doug Davies at Birmingham, Fred Lang at Wembley and Harry Serrurier at Bristol. Vern McWilliams rode for the Poole Pirates but not before earlier spells with Glasgow (White City) and Wolverhampton both tracks closing due to financial problems. The most promising of the South Africans in British racing was the teenager Davies. Despite being advised that he would not be able to take part in qualification rounds for the Worlds Championship, he decided to travel over to the UK anyway to gain experience for a tilt at the championship the following year. Davies showed much promise and became a popular member of the Brummies team. Due to the National Championship being restricted to South African riders only, it was the intention to stage the delayed 1953/54 event before the arrival of the British Commonwealth touring team.

    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 5 No. 3 December 2002 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 160 Who Was The Best Prewar Rider? Don Gray, Old Orchard, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, CB5 9JU, Telephone: 01223 862279 has posed the question above and set out to answer it in the following article. On becoming aware that I saw my first speedway meeting on Easter Monday 1930, many acquaintances ask, who, in my opinion, was the best rider in the pre-war era? A most difficult question to answer. A number of criteria present themselves from which to reach an opinion and they are viewed from different perspectives by various enthusiasts, many of whom, I might suggest, are biased towards their own particular favourites. I must concentrate on the thirties and ignore the overseas pioneers of the late 1920s when Frank Arthur and Vic Huxley reigned supreme over the inexperienced emergent British riders and when those spectacular showmen like Billy Lamont and Sprouts Elder enthralled a curious and excited public. I choose to ignore the one track specialists who performed brilliantly on their own circuits but indifferently when visiting other tracks. I put men like Jack Barnett and Phil Bishop at High Beech, the Australian Jack Bishop at Exeter, Arthur Jervis at Leicester Super and Len Parker at Bristol. Unlike the modern era, the pre-war decade was notable for the number of riders who experienced purple patches of form and dominated their peer for a few weeks, only to recede back to the category of “good” rather than “outstanding”.
